Billable

Serous conjunctivitis, except viral, left eye

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

This is an inflammation of the clear membrane covering the white part of the left eye that produces a watery discharge, but is not caused by a virus. The condition causes redness, irritation, and excessive tearing without the thick discharge typical of bacterial infections.

Coding Tips

  • •Verify the laterality is documented as left eye only; if bilateral, use separate codes for each eye (H10.231 for right, H10.232 for left)
  • •Confirm the conjunctivitis is serous (watery) and non-viral in nature; if viral etiology is documented, use H10.01x codes instead
